Weekly Learning Plan
Subject	Business Management	Week	3
Duration	60 minutes	Form	SHS 2
Strand	Managing Businesses and the Legal Framework of Businesses	Sub-Strand	Functional Areas of Management
Learning Outcome(s)	2.1.2.LO.1 - Demonstrate understanding and practical application of Management levels, types of decisions and the decision-making process within the curriculum sub-strand Functional Areas of Management.
Learning Indicator(s)	2.1.2.LI.2 - Management levels, types of decisions and the decision-making process
Lesson Focus	Management levels, types of decisions and the decision-making process
Previous Knowledge	Learners recall the immediately preceding knowledge/skill needed to engage with Management levels, types of decisions and the decision-making process; the starter diagnoses this rather than assuming mastery.
Lesson Objective(s)	Identify or explain the key subject idea/procedure in Management levels, types of decisions and the decision-making process. Complete the concrete guided/practical task for Management levels, types of decisions and the decision-making process accurately. Apply Management levels, types of decisions and the decision-making process independently to a new case, data set, text, material or performance situation.
Essential Question(s)	What evidence or procedure is needed to work accurately with Management levels, types of decisions and the decision-making process? What would a strong practical/application response to Management levels, types of decisions and the decision-making process look like? How would changing the context, data or constraints affect a decision about Management levels, types of decisions and the decision-making process?
Pedagogical Strategies	Diagnostic questioning Experiential/problem-based learning Collaborative analysis Guided modelling Independent application Peer/self assessment
Teaching & Learning Resources	Decision scenario cards Management-level chart Weighted decision matrix Calculator
Key Notes on Differentiation
Content	Provide a partially completed example, labelled materials or vocabulary support for learners who need scaffolding in Management levels, types of decisions and the decision-making process. Extend the task by adding a new constraint, less familiar case or requirement to compare alternatives in Management levels, types of decisions and the decision-making process.
Process	Use mixed-ability pairs for the first application, then require an individual transfer task. Allow oral/visual demonstration where appropriate while retaining the same subject accuracy criteria.
Product	Use a checklist/rubric tied to the concrete output for this week rather than participation alone. For advanced work, require justification with evidence, calculations, source reference or quality criteria.
Success Criteria	The learner uses correct subject terminology and evidence. The learner completes the week’s concrete product/calculation/performance with acceptable accuracy. The learner explains why the procedure/choice fits the stated context rather than giving a memorised general answer.
Homework	Observe a familiar school, shop or organisation and write a short example showing how Management levels, types of decisions and the decision-making process is or could be used.

Lesson Activities
Stage	Teacher Activity	Learner Activity	Assessment / DoK
Starter10 minutes	Present a short workplace case involving Management levels, types of decisions and the decision-making process; ask learners to identify the manager’s immediate decision and the evidence needed.	Inspect the prompt/materials, record an initial response about Management levels, types of decisions and the decision-making process, and justify it briefly.	Not provided.
Activity 115 minutes	Model the key components of Management levels, types of decisions and the decision-making process using the provided business documents, chart or case rather than definitions alone.	Classify decision cards as strategic, tactical or operational and match them to top, middle or lower management.	Check correct use of management terminology and evidence from the case.
Activity 220 minutes	Assign a realistic organisation case and require groups to apply Management levels, types of decisions and the decision-making process to produce a decision, flow, structure or management action.	Apply a weighted decision matrix to choose between three business options using cost, time, risk and customer impact.	Assess the group product for sequence, feasibility and justification.
Activity 310 minutes	Give an individual mini-case requiring one concrete output that demonstrates Management levels, types of decisions and the decision-making process.	Write the six-step decision process for a new scenario and identify where evidence is needed.	Check whether the individual output would work in the stated organisation.

Lesson Closure

Ask learners to name one specific mistake an organisation could make in Management levels, types of decisions and the decision-making process and the practical consequence of that mistake. Complete a one-minute exit response using a concrete example from the lesson on Management levels, types of decisions and the decision-making process.
